| Message | If you used that advice yourself you would not have proposed some of the recent bills you have. The fact is something here is broken. Peoples prosperity is putting put below that of the environment. Why should people not get a job because of excessive regulations? Why shouldn't responsible adults be able to own certain pets? No reason. |
